FOR over 20 years now it has been the aim of the Morgan Motor Co., Ltd., to produce a vehicle that will meet the requirements of that section of the public who desire the possession of a Light Car, but whose means, but for the "Morgan," would only permit a Motor Cycle combination. Our idea was and is to overcome the problems of Motor Cycle discomfort and fatigue, and to enable the public to enjoy Light Car comfort, with greater speed and economy, but with considerably less initial outlay and running costs. With this aim still in view we shall continue to market the original Two-Speed "Morgan" on the already well-known and satisfactory " B " type chassis, and it will be agreed that at the prices shown we are offering the public a vehicle for which it will be difficult to find a substitute.
In addition to the above we are able to announce an entirely new model for 1932. This model is supplied in a very complete form, so that customers are not bothered with annoying amounts charged as extras. The bodywork is similar to the existing types for all models, except in detail improvements, which have certainly added to the appearance generally. These alterations refer chiefly to the Family model, which has a better shaped bonnet and a Single Panel Windscreen, with a Suction type Screen Wiper. All the new models are supplied complete with Lucas Electric Lighting and Starting, and of course the usual Hood, Side Screens and Tools. Messrs. J. A. Prestwich & Co., Ltd., have designed specially for us an entirely new Twin Cylinder engine, with the Cylinders set at a wider angle, which arrangement has enabled them to build an engine that will run more smoothly and quietly than the present 50° type. The most important change in these models is that they are all fitted with 3 forward speeds and reverse. This arrangement does away with one chain and overcomes many difficulties that have been apparent in the past. The Speeds are obtained through a regular car type of Gear Box, which has been designed by us specially for the "Morgan," and like all other parts of our cars, the Gear Box has been very robustly made to withstand all the knocking about it is likely to get. The Transmission now consists of the usual Prop Shaft, through very strong gears, to a Steel Worm and Bronze Worm Wheel, with the final drive by a single chain.
We have retained several valuable features in the rear assembly, the whole of which, including the Gear Box, can be very simply detached from the chassis. The Bearings for the Fork Arms have been increased slightly in diameter, which makes for longer wear at this point, also a new type of Bracket has been designed for the Dynamo, making the Drive for this instrument practically fool-proof. The Rear Wheel is held in position by a knock-out spindle, with the end of which is combined the Rear Brake operating cable stop, the whole being quickly detachable. On the following pages will be found descriptions of our models with detailed specifications. You will find a model to suit YOURSELF.
PAGE TWO
| Engine | Air or Water-cooled with Cylinders set at 60 degrees; can be removed by withdrawing four bolts after Petrol and Oil Unions have been disconnected. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lubrication | Is of the latest dry sump principle, oil being pumped from the tank, through the engine and then returned to the tank again. It is fool-proof, and the rate of flow being decided upon by the engine makers, no adjustment is provided or necessary. The grade of oil we recommend is Wakefield Castrol X.L. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ignition | Battery and Coil, the distributor being easily accessible and at the same time water-proof. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chassis | Special patented design, built from Steel Tubes, very light and immensely strong. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Clutch | Simple cone, Fabric-lined, self-contained and dust-proof, with ball thrust bearings, actuated by foot pedal; easy to adjust. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Transmission | The drive is taken through the main frame tube from a joint in the clutch to a Three-Speed and Reverse Gear Box. The Prop. Shaft passes through a centre ball bearing which obviates any possibility of shaft whip. Behind the Gear Box is a Worm Gear Case containing a hardened Steel Worm and a special Phosphor Bronze Worm Wheel; from these Gears the drive is transmitted by one ¾in. pitch chain to the Rear wheel. The chain being short and running at a low speed gives no trouble. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wheels | The Front Wheels are fitted with large Hubs and best quality Spokes and Rims, Brakes of 7in. diameter are fitted to the Front Wheels, that for the Rear Wheel being of 8in. diameter. The Back Wheel is mounted on ball journal bearings of ample size for the work they are called upon to do, the size of the Rims fitted is 19in. x 3in. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Control | The Motor Cycle type AMAL Carburetter is fitted with controls on the Steering Wheel. An exhaust valve lifter is fitted to facilitate starting. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Steering | Geared Steering is fitted, the reduction being approximately 2 to 1. A Celluloid covered wheel is supplied and the track rod is fitted with our patented anti-wobble steering pins. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mudwings | These are handsome and effective, fitted with metal valances and secured firmly to the chassis. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Luggage | An average size suitcase can be carried strapped to the tail over the back wheel. A special luggage carrier can be supplied for the Super Sports model if needed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bodywork | Is very strongly made of wood and sheet Steel. It is entirely separate from the chassis and can be detached very quickly. Four different types are manufactured all being well made and comfortable, with ample leg room and width, and fitted with Dunlop Cellular Rubber Cushions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tanks | Holding 4 gallons of Petrol and 1 gallon of lubricating Oil, are fitted under the bonnet, with the exception of the Air-cooled model, which has tanks holding 3 gallons of Petrol and 3 pints of Oil. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tyres | 27 x 4in. Dunlop tyres are fitted to all Wheels. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Silencers | Are fixed in a special manner to frame, allowing the exhaust to pass out behind the gear box and are of a design which, while adequately dispersing gases, satisfactorily function as silencers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Speed | The Standard Gear Ratios are:- Family Models: - 1st speed 13.1 ; 2nd speed 8.0 ; top 4.85 ; Reverse 17.5. Two-Seater Models: - 1st speed 12.4 ; 2nd Speed 7.5 ; top 4.58 ; Reverse 16.5. Special Gears can be fitted as an extra. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Overall Dimensions |

| Equipment | All Models are fitted with Lucas Electric Lighting equipment including 2 Head Lamps with special dimming arrangement, switch board, gear driven dynamo, electric horn and suction screen wiper. A hood, screen, floor mats, licence holder and full kit of tools are supplied; also a ¼ gallon tin of Wakefield Castrol Oil. In addition to the above, all Three-Speed Models are fitted with Lucas Electric Starter. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
